Island Happenings!


Living on beautiful Pleasure Island has it advantages! Not only do we have the sun, sand and saltwater but we have a lot more. We have incredible people that love this island and spend time and energy to make it a wonderful placed to live! The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce does an amazing job! We have fireworks, movies by the lake, the Chowder Cook- off, the Beach Music Festival and the Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival and more. They are incredible!
We have things going on every weekend! From Memorial Day to Labor Day, this island knows how to entertain and thank our visitors for spending time here on the island. I am planning on taking the time to enjoy what the island has to offer this year. I can't wait! I want to fish, swim, sunbathe, walk and just enjoy where I live!
